We're Dratanauts: a global crew of 600+ professionals united by a culture that rewards integrity, ownership, and raising the bar, no matter where in the world we're working from.

You're writing it as you go. - Real ownership, not just process: Our values center on owning outcomes and raising the bar, not checking boxes. You're expected to have opinions and back them. - A seat at the table: Your perspective is unique and valued. Open debate and diverse viewpoints are built into how decisions actually get made here, at every level. - Growth at rocketship speed: Drata is scaling fast, which means scope grows fast too. High performers get more ownership, visibility, and experience. - A crew, not just coworkers: Dratanauts consistently describe a "come as you are" culture with sharp, curious people—the kind of team that makes hard problems genuinely fun to solve.

What you'll do: Commercial Book of Business - Own a book of business of commercial customers, maintaining awareness of each account's technical health and platform adoption status. - Monitor customer health signals — including health score drops, usage threshold alerts, and renewal risk flags — and engage proactively with at-risk customers to provide targeted, limited-scope technical guidance. - Provide limited-scope ad hoc technical support for commercial customers who raise specific, bounded integration or solutioning questions. - Partner closely with Customer Success Managers to stay aligned on customer priorities, renewal timelines, and expansion opportunities with a technical dimension. - Direct customers to self-service resources and digital assets where appropriate, reinforcing the commercial segment's self-sufficiency model. Digital Programmes & Content - Contribute to and help maintain Drata Academy content — Drata's self-service learning platform — developing and updating technical modules, how-to guides, and walkthrough videos that reflect the current state of the platform, including AI-powered features. - Design, develop, and deliver 1:many technical workshops and webinars that address common implementation challenges, integration patterns, and best practices for the commercial customer base. - Identify gaps in existing self-service content by monitoring support trends, common escalations, and customer feedback, and prioritise content creation accordingly. - Partner with Product and Customer Education teams to ensure digital content is accurate, up-to-date, and aligned with the most common commercial customer implementation patterns. Technical Expertise - Develop working knowledge of Drata's platform, including third-party integrations via APIs, desktop applications, logging, database architecture, scripting, and documentation. - Build familiarity with key functional areas as commercial customer needs dictate, including identity/SSO, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, MDMs, EDRs, and HRIS providers. - Develop working proficiency with Drata's AI-powered features and help customers understand and adopt these capabilities through both 1:1 and digital channels. - Stage, reproduce, and document platform behaviour and customer issues to drive quick resolutions, bug tickets, and feature requests. - Participate in UAT sessions with Product Management to contribute commercial customer use cases before features are released to production.
